alike. We must all put our Shout
ders to the wheel aud work with a
will. Every man in Carson and
every woman should try and see if
they cannot help make the Pavilion
exhibit as attractive as possible to
visitors. Every one ought to take
a strong personal interest in the
matter for if the Fair is a failure
it means that the town is a failure
and will be so considered abroad.
Every business man is directly in
terested in the success, the over
whslming success of the Fair.
Every business man ought to pur-
chase a season ticket or several Of
them, and if he does not use them
himself send them to some family
up the valley who trades with him.
We hope that the Comstock min
ing companies who failed to con-
tribute any exhibit to the State Fair
will wake up and send us down
something for this FAIR, and send it
quick. We want good mineral
exhibit, and we want lot of other
things from Storey county to help
liven up our Fair.

THE FAIR.

The people of this District should
bear in mind that if the coming
Fair is not success it will give a
black eye to the entire District, Storey
Ormsby and Douglas, for some time
to come. Every resident and blsi-
ness man of Carson is interested

THE STATE FAIR.

and everybody who visited it IN ust
have been iorcibly struck with the
fact that Nevada is raising more in
tn way of live stock and agricultural
products than the most sanguine
would have dreamed of ten years
ago.
1t ought to make Nevada man
proud of his State to walk through
the Fair Grounds and saunter
about the Pavilion. The cattle and
horse exhibit demonstrated beyond
question the effect of pure dry air,
cool nights and good grass upon
thoroughbred stock, and also showed
that farmers are waking up to the
impor lance OF having tie best they
can get in the line of thoroughbreds.
We doubt if any young State ever
made better showing.
There were some admirable fea-
lures at the Pavilion. There was
a weaving loom which was marvel
of mechanical ingenuity, every part
of it made in Nevada, turning out
wonderful patterns under the eyes
of the visitors, and at times work
ing on Nevada-raised wool. How
that machine could pick up white
threads and make vines, and blue
threads and make flowers, all per-
feet in form, no one seemed fully to
understand but the long-headed
weaver, whose name was Mitchell,
and who came here from England,
where his father was a weaver, and
his grandfather a weaver, and so on
generations back.
While one was lost in wonder at
the almost human working of the
machine, made right in Reno, one
was also lost in disgust that a man
of such mechanical ability should
be here in Nevada dead broke and
nothing for him to do, while Ne
vada people were buying the dupli-
cate of this mans work in San
Francisco, and Nevada sheep men
were sending the raw wool to San
Francisco.
With the brains, men and ma
terial right here in the State, why
will Nevada never wake up to the
importance of keeping its money
here also?
There were also prodigious piles
of vegetables on exhibition, wheat
of unsurpassed quality, potatoes
and beets outranking in size and
quality any thing ever exhibited in
California and yet our farmers pay
enormous freight rates to get their
potatoes to San Francisco In their
natural state, instead of reducing
their weight four-fifths by drying as
they might do it they had the enter
prise to club together and erect a
drying establishment.
They raise wheat which they
ship to California and then buy it
back in the shape OF high priced
flour when they could have it all
made into -four here q good deal
cheaper. All they lack is the sense.
There was a splendid display of
wagon and carriage work on exhi-
bition. No better could be made
in San Francisco, vet when Nevada
people want carriages they almost
invariably send below. These are
the reflections which CRATE on ones
mind as he attends the Nevada
State Fair.
But we believe a new era is about
to dawn here and the moss-b backs
and fools will go to the rear and a
more enterprising people take a
hand in steering Nevada toward the
haven of future prosperity. Each
Fair will wake up the sleeping to
the fact that they have a State, soil
and climate which no spot on earth
can rival and which one day, like
the stone which the builders reject
ed, will become the headstone of
the corner.
